Samsung 42" HP-T4254, Was Clicking now another problem

[Seether]

Ok, Ive found the clicking issue and it seems to be the X-Sus board, because when power is removed from it, the Tv will come on and stay on.

Picked it up out of my local dump , Guy was going to throw the TV away and I screamed I would take it lol, Think I gave the poor man a heart attack.

Now heres what gets me without the X-Sus their is no sound nor a picture that I can see. There is a large black blob in the screen that will slowly fade away to snow if left on for a long time and has a pink hue that also fades. Now if you unplug all but 1 of the plasma screen plugs (lack of knowledge their) that 1 line will come on automatically clear as well...Snow lol.

The Plasma screen is not the problem I have checked each line individually and each line will come on perfectly if its the only one plugged in. My question is will the X-sus board when I get a new one remedy this (this problem hapens while the x-sus is unplugged)

Standard answers:

1. Pictures are always good

2. Standard technique for detecting this type of problem is to unplug power to sustain cards one at a time.

3. A bad X-Sus will cause strange colors on a plasma screen.

4. Terms like 'large blob' and 'plasma screen plugs' are little help. There are LOTS of connections to a plasma screen. Refer to #1.

5. Service manual can be found here.

Did you unplug that power cable from the leftmost board? That's called YSUS board.

Check the small chips on the Y-buffer boards that they are not burned out (cratered).
Photos and full model number, and model number of panel sticker.

Ok yes I did, There are 6 connections for the Screen coming off the Y Buffer, If I leave all 6 plugged in on the Screen all I can see is a huge black box that will slowly fade away, I will add pictures soon

The X-sus is the problem board I was just wondering should I order a Y-Buffer when I ordered the X-sus
